About the App

The app decides solar energy potential (in kWh/m2) at any given location.

App is of great help in setting up photovoltaic thermal power plants

GPS helps in trapping down the location of the user

The app delivers monthly and yearly solar potential by processing data acquired from Indian Geostationary Satellites like

The app provides other useful information as well like elevation angles and daytime duration over different time periods in a year

It also calculates the obstacle of sunlight due to territory by employing Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

The app also suggests the optimum tilt angle for the installation of solar PV

The app provides information which is easy to understand and interpret using tables and visuals

The complete report provided by the app can be saved by the user in the form of a PDF file
